The following are statistics for Hypnobabies

only:

1) Very Comfortable births – 70-75%. Women who report that they felt mostly pressure, tightening or mild cramping sensations.

2) Comfortable until transition – 15%. Pressure only, until the 10-60 minute transitional period, with mild to intense degrees of sensation thereafter. “Very manageable.”

3) Comfortable until active labor – 10%, with mild to intense degrees of sensation thereafter This group can have any number of things that affect their birth experiences; prodromal labor, posterior or asynclitic presentations that do not resolve, other complications, emotional issues, lack of support, or they simply did not do their homework (45 minutes a day)! Hypnosis for childbirth won’t help a mother or a couple that is not willing to do the work involved in preparing for their baby’s birth.

All women reported that the Relaxation and Fear Clearing in Hypnobabies were invaluable to them during their labors.

I am one of those Moms that describes her births as nearly pain free and mostly very comfortable! Want to read about the my births? Here is Marlowe’s and Zephyr’s birth story.
